(Reuters) - Several South Korean civilians and soldiers were wounded and many others were being evacuated to bunkers on an island hit by dozens of
artillery shells fired by North Korea on Tuesday, a Seoul television reported.

Wow... just wow. I didn't realize it was around 200 shells... that is quite a lot.

I was about to go to sleep, 2 AM EST here, but looks like I may have to stay up for awhile. Part of me wants to believe that the greater forces
involved will not want this to escalate, so perhaps this will die down soon. Koreans are a different breed though.

The damage is pretty spread out in that picture! This is going to be bad and holds a potentially scary outcome.

I don't see how either side could hold out from full-scale declarations of war at this point (technically the Koreans are not at peace anyway). N
Korea can't just attack homes and stop, expecting everything to be dandy, and S.Korea can't take anymore BS from that little guy in the North.

The key part of this story will be how the world's MAJOR powers react.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's tight bond with North Korea faced mounting pressure with the arrival on Tuesday of a U.S. envoy as Washington urges
Beijing to use its influence over Pyongyang to curb its nuclear weapons ambitions.

^^Just before or around the time of the attack. So the US is talking to China about N Korea TODAY and this happens.

Because of so many troops being sent there. Because of the way north korea is handling things now. Reports show that 4 soldiers were injured. China
and United States tension right now. Emergency meetings are being held right now. We will just have to wait and see.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - South Korea says it has scrambled F-16 fighter jets and returned fire after North Korea shot dozens of rounds of
artillery onto a populated South Korean island near the countries' western border.

South Korea's YTN television says two people were injured, several houses were on fire and that shells were still falling on Yeonpyeong island.
Yonhap news agency, quoting a military official, says four soldiers are wounded. The reports couldn't be immediately verified.

Remember everyone if war a does break out Japan will serve as a resupply zone for the amercians & allies, looks like those crazy elites are actually
willing to start a war with North Korea and China Good god my theories were right all along

And when russia sees that america is attacking North korea, russia will use the moment to release its full force of liberating eupore from European
union and well hunting war criminals of NATO.

OH and also Homefront the video game does predict a north korean invasion www.youtube.com...
